About Me

Jeff Bezos founded e-commerce giant Amazon in 1994 out of his Seattle garage. Bezos stepped down as CEO to become executive chairman in 2021. He owns 8% of the company. He and his wife MacKenzie divorced in 2019 after 25 years of marriage and he transferred a quarter of his then-16% Amazon stake to her. In 2020, Bezos pledged to donate $10 billion to climate causes by 2030 through his Bezos Earth Fund; he has granted $2 billion so far. He owns The Washington Post and Blue Origin, an aerospace company developing rockets; he briefly flew to space in one in 2021. Bezos said in a 2022 interview with CNN that he plans to give away the majority of his wealth in his lifetime, without disclosing specific details.
